Submit Your App to the Apple App Store Hassle-Free
When using SupaPass, submitting your app to the Apple App Store becomes a breeze. Once you've completed all of the sections and clicked "submit," our system takes care of the rest. However, there are a few steps that need to happen before your app will be live in the store.
Apple Review
Your initial submission
We'll need to run a few checks on your app to make sure everything is ready to go, for this reason your first submission will take approximately one working day to be sent to the App Store.
Apple reviews your app
After submission, your app will undergo Apple's review process, which can take up to 48 hours. Please keep in mind that the review timeline may vary. Apple will review your app, store listing metadata and any subscription products you submit against their Review Guidelines.
During the winter holiday period apps will take longer to review. If you're looking to launch an app in December, please contact us to discuss timelines.
App Review Status
You can easily keep track of the status of your app submissions by visiting the "Status" section in App Setup. This section will provide you with real-time updates on all your past and current builds, so you'll always know where your app stands in the process.
